What are some things the government has no control over? Anything would be great, but I don't think we realize how much control they actually have...

I mean she was blinking constantly! Was she sending secret messages to Al-Quida, telling them to chill, we'll pull the troops out soon despite what Bush was saying?
Also, she moved her mouth constantly. Was she readjusting her dentures or just trying to get that last morsel of beef stuck between her teeth?

The police say its a civil matter even though its causing obstruction. The council seems to be beyond the law.

What rights can I research to put common sense back in to the council who insists its normal to obstruct a private house's driveway entrance.

Lighting column is 2 foot into the area imbetween the driveway gateposts... with a set of traffic lights in the street at the front of the house and theres double yellow lines going past the house to. The need for off street parking is vital to me and the house owner. I wonder who in authority may help . or might give a toss.

It was mailed on the 28th day of December 2006 and arrived on the 24th day of January 2007. As a Postal patron this is unacceptable. I would think ten days would be long time certainly not 28.

All the Democrats do is question the Bush administration's policy in Iraq. OK, we get it, you have the majority now. DO SOMETHING. Instead of voting "no confidence" for the new Iraq plan, here's something novel: PROPOSE YOUR OWN PLAN. I am not a Republican, I am not a Democrat. I am a nonpartisan American citizen who honesty doesn't care which side of the aisle has good ideas IF THEY USE THEM. Does anyone else feel the same? Is there any forum in which to express my opinion?

Bush’s new plan to increase the size of active Army and Marine Corps by 92,000 in the next five years has fallen under great criticism from democrats and republicans alike. Bush claims he decided on this plan because it “Provides the best chance for success.” But, according to many strategists including former secretary of defense Colin Powell, “A temporary U.S. troop surge probably would not help.” So the question is, if congress chooses to fund Bush’s plan and it fails like his previous plans have then would that not lead to a far worse failure? To quote Bush’s state of the union speech, “ Many in this chamber understand that America must not fail in Iraq, because you understand that the consequences of failure would be grievous and far-reaching.” It seems to me that failure after adding an additional 20,000 troops would be more “grievous and far-reaching” than pulling out as soon as possible. Thoughts please!

I don't know about the rest of the public ( my fellow citizens) but i firmly believe that the United States Gov't is proving to be a Totalitarian Gov't. Just look up what the definition of Totalitarianism is and you will agree. There was a day when you could express yourself under the Right to free speech, but that day is long gone. I just read in the paper today how a 81 yr. old man was harrassed by the Secret Service for making comments about the Gov't and Bush. I refer to Bush as a person not the President because in my view a President acts on the will of his people not for his own personal gain. Now this gentlemen who has been writing political based opinions for the last decade used his right to free speech. One year prior he was interrogated by the FBI for writing a controversial letter to the local newspaper stating that Bush should be un-seated. This is the beginning of this horror story.

I don't necessarily mean "least experienced".

For example, GWB was elected twice as governor of Texas. He did not serve both terms, naturally, but he was re-elected.

This is not a commentary on the current administration or its' qualifications (or percieved lack thereof). I'm just curious if a successful President must start off on a more local level and pay his dues, so to speak.

My understanding of welfare is payments to people with low incomes, or children they can't support. Some have said that by subsidizing this activity, we get more of it. Even FDR spoke of the "narcotic effect" of these types of payments. Some people know that the government will bail them out, and therefore will "slack off" on their own efforts.

Look at that last sentence again - does this apply to tax subsidies to corporations? Are these tax credits and other "breaks" tied to activities we want to encourage rather than discourage (like oil exploration and drilling, etc.), or are they not tied to anything?

Speaking more broadly, when (if ever) should the government use tax policy to encourage or discourage activity? If you tax it, you get less of it; if you subsidize it, you get more of it. The home mortgage interest deduction is probably the most commonly encountered "tax break" - although I'd hardly call it 'homeowner welfare."

What are your thoughts?
